emerging markets and developing economies has
gained momentum.
The Chinese slowdown and rebalancing
has a direct impact on trade. The IMF expects 3.8%
trade growth in 2017, the World Bank is similarly
positive at 3.6% in 2017 and for 2018 the World Bank
expects 4% growth. United Nations Department of
econom ics and Social Affairs (UN-DESA) in its
report forecasts world trade to increase to 3.7%
during 2017 and stabilize at 3.5% in 2018.
Forecast for average inflation is revised
because of stable oil prices. Inflation is likely to
dip to 2.6% in 2017and pick up to 2.8% in 2018.
Risks to the global growth have become
stable, as the developed economies have avoided,
unfavourable changes to their m acroeconom ic
policies. The fuel price rise is providing fiscal relief
to oil exporters but is measured enough not to
destabilize oil importers.
Even though a modest global recovery is
projected fo r 2017-18, m any econom ies have
experienced a marked downturn in private and
public in ve stm e n t in recen t years. In m ost

Downside risks continue to dominate the

expansionary fiscal policy in m ajor developed

identified in the international policy environment
and elevated foreign currency-denominated debt
levels as key downside risks that may ruin the
already modest global growth prospects.

The investment in new capital for a technological

business climate, to support investment in human

and developing economies.
The current high level of asset prices can

developing econom ies with more open capital
markets remain weak subject to ignorance of risk,
uneven global liquidity conditions and unexpected
cap ita l w ith d ra w a l. H igher levels of po licy
uncertainty continue to be unclear for world trade,
developm ent aid, migration and climate targets
and may interrupt recovery in global investment
and productivity. M oreover, rising geopolitical
tension could sharpen a trend to more one-sided
and protectionist policies.
INDIAN ECONOMY
The economy of India is most consistent
d e ve lo p in g eco nom y in the w orld. India has
maintained 6-7% average growth annually since
economic liberalization (1991). The acceleration of
structural reforms, the move towards a rule-based
policy framework and low commodity prices have
provided a strong growth stimulus. In 2017 Indian
econom y becam e the w orld's fastest grow ing
major economy in the world and it is expected to
be one of the top three economic powers of the
world over the next decade, supported by its strong
democracy and partnerships. In terms of steady
GDP growth, it is am ong the w orld's strongest
performers and will remain the fastest-growing G20
economy.
Growth of the economy is set to expedite

im plem entation of the Goods and Services Tax
(GST) earlier this fiscal year and the impact of the
curre n cy exchange in itia tiv e . The Goods and
Services Tax (GST) is going to have a positive impact
on the Indian economy.

Wall Street brokerage Goldman Sachs has
expected a growth of 6.4 per cent for 2017-18 and
in next fiscal the economy is likely to grow at 8 per

grow ing sector in the world. IT industry is the
largest private-sector employer in India. Moreover,
India is a major exporter of IT services, Business
Process Outsourcing (BPO) services and software
services in financial year 2017.
Consum er price based inflation will be
controlled through ongoing structural reform s,
efforts to reduce the fragmentation of agricultural
markets and land plots and with the development
of irrigation network.
Population growth rate, increased labour
fo rce p a rticip a tio n and h igher e d u catio n
enrolment projects India's labour force to increase
significantly in coming years. India is the largest
remittance recipient in the world. FDI net inflows
in India have been rising steadily with the highest
ever inflow of equity worth US $ 43.4 billion in 2016­
17 and has been leading globally in liberalization
measures. Export statistics have been improved
due to strong demand from Asia and the euro area.
The deficit remains well below its longer-
term average. The fiscal deficit of the Government
of India, which was 4.5 per cent of the gross
domestic product (GDP) in 2013-14, is expected to
decrease to 3.2 per cent of the GDP in 2017-18,
according to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
Economic momentum could accelerate by
the new fisca l package, w hich w ill ease the
resolution process of banks' stressed assets, shore
up loan growth and boost corporate sentiment.
Carefully framed policies with an intention
to reduce long term as w ell as sh o rt term

could push India's GDP growth to be between 8%
and 10% with huge gains expected from internal
integration of markets in the coming years as per
the World Bank.
A co m p re h e n sive tax reform w ould
promote inclusive growth. The landmark Goods

econom ic grow th. India is reform ing relations
across levels of government to empower the states
and m ake p o licie s m ore re sp o n sive to local
conditions.
For inclusive grow th better social and
physical infrastructure is needed. Moreover, more
finance to physical and social infrastructure is vital
to raise livin g sta n d a rd s fo r all. B etter

 AN OVERVIEW OF ECONOMY
ECONOMY OF GUJARAT
The developm ent in Gujarat comes in a way
through its good governance under successive
regimes in Gujarat. Gujarat is one of the richest
big state, enjoys faste r grow th and a greater
intensity of jobs and industry than India as a whole.
G ujarat has perform ed w ell in term s of GSDP
growth, education, health and in other key sectors.
Gujarat shares just 5% of India's population and
6% of its land mass and accounts for 7.6% of its
GDP. The state's annual GDP growth from 2011-12
to 2016-17 at current prices averaged above 13%, a
faster rate than India as a whole.
Gujarat is one of the high growth states in
the country having the longest coastline. A coastal
state has the advantages of greater global access
as well as lower transportation costs. A quarter of
India's sea cargo passes through its ports and
c o n trib u te s to its rapid g ro w th th ro u g h
international trade.
Agricultural growth is highly influenced by
cash crops such as cotton, oilseeds and tobacco
and increased crop productivity. Due to decisive
steps taken by Gujarat governm ent in agriculture
sector, noticeable grow th has been achieved
despite w ater scarcity in the state. Continuously
rising milk production and significant exports of
fish have d o m in a te d the gro w th in A n im a l
husbandry sector.
G u ja rat is one o f the m ost in d u stria lly
developed states having, the highest geographical
area under SEZ developm ent in India. G ujarat
governm ent has taken effective steps to grant
perm its, licenses and e n vironm ent clearance
speedily, as a result more and more new factories
are being setup.
Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit is a visionary
approach of the Governm ent of Gujarat towards
in c lu siv e and s u s ta in a b le d e v e lo p m e n t by
e n s u rin g p o lic y c o h e re n c e and e ffe c tiv e
investm ent promotion. The central focus of the
Su m m it is "S u sta in a b le Eco nom ic and Social
Developm ent".
Socio-Economic Review, Gujarat State, 2017-18
The e n tre p re n e u ria l sp irit o f people in
Gujarat has achieved the distinction of being one
of the m ost industrially developed states. The
major industry groups in Gujarat are chem icals,
petrochemicals, dairy, drugs and pharmaceuticals,
cem ent and ceramics, gems and jewellery, textiles
and engineering. There are 13 m ajor industry
groups that together account for around 82.05 per
cent of total factories, 95.85 per cent of total fixed
capital investm ent, 90.09 per cent of the value of
output and 93.21 per cent of value addition in
Gujarat's industrial economy.
The good go vern an ce sto ry o f G u jarat,
su p p o rts in clu sive gro w th and so cia l se cto r
developm ent. The state has moved from a deficit
in electricity generation, in 2002, to a surplus,
despite meeting the energy demands of a booming
economy. Its 18,000 rural villages are connected to
the e le ctricity grid and having efficien t w ater
supply system.
Gujarat has shown better performance in
health by declining (the lowering of) the infant
mortality rate (IMR) by 3.6 per cent per annum.
The fem ale-m ale education ratio captures
gender equality. W ith programmes such as Beti
B a ch a o B eti P a d h a o , th e re is an e ffe c tiv e
awareness about education of the girl child.
Crafted policies and strategical planning of
the state governm ent will further im prove its
education system , healthcare and other social
secto r param eters to rem ove ob stacles in its
g ro w th . The g o v e rn m e n t w ill fo cu s on the
econom ic-social transform ation of the Eastern
Corridor and Western Gujarat and will uplift the
vulnerable com m unities from the remote, rural
areas, who have been left out by the market-led
growth. This will lead to inclusive developm ent
and reduce inequality.

1.16 Out of 26 districts, two districts in the state
viz. The Dangs (1006) and Tapi (1007) have
recorded the sex ratio above equilibrium
in Census 2011, whereas the remaining
districts have recorded sex ratio below

from 1961, the sex ratio of the state shows
a decreasing trend except in 1981 census.

Ahmadabad district with 904 and Kachchh
district with 908. The large migration from
w ith in and o u tsid e the state into
e co nom ically vibrant, industrial urban
areas is one of the main factors for the low
sex ratio in A hm edabad and Surat.
Combined with the large share of urban
population in the state, this reflects in a
lower sex ratio for Gujarat as compared to
all India ratio.

3. AGRICULTURE AND ALLIED SECTORS
AGRICULTURE
3.1 Pioneering work by agriculture scientists,
government and the efforts of farmers had
helped achieve a breakthrough in the
a g ricu ltu re sector. High a gricu ltu ra l
production and productivity achieved in
some crops has helped in attaining growth.
The food safety net for each and every
citizen in a growing population requires
enhanced agricu ltu ra l production and
productivity in the form of a Second Green
Revolution. The supply responses to price
hikes in a g ricu ltu ra l co m m o d itie s,
especially food articles, in the recent past
brings back into focus the central question
of efficient supply chain management and
need for sustained levels of grow th in
agriculture and allied sectors. The choice
before the nation is cle ar w ith m ore
in ve stm e n t in a g ricu ltu re and allie d
sectors, right strategie s, policies and
intervention s. This is also a necessary
condition for 'inclusive grow th' and for
ensuring that the benefits of growth reach
a larger number of people.
3.2 The grow th of a g ricu ltu re and allie d
sectors is still a critical factor in the overall
performance of the state economy. During
the period 2011-12 to 2016-17(Q), the GSDP
at constant ( 2 0 1 1 - 1 2 ) prices for agriculture
sector including animal husbandry sector
has increased from Rs. 98015 crore to Rs.
106037 crore. In 2016-17(Q), it accounted
for 12.4 percent of the GSVA compared to
13.0 percent in 2015-16(P) (Chart-1).

farmers in the past years have led economy
towards the inclusive growth. The role of
the agriculture sector, however, remains
critical as it accounts for about 49.6 per
cent of employment in the state (as per
2011 census). Moreover, this sector is a
supplier of food, fodder, and raw materials
for a vast segment of industry. Hence the
growth of agriculture can be considered a
necessary condition for 'inclusive growth'.
More recently, the rural sector (including
agriculture) is being seen as a potential
source of domestic demand, a recognition
th at is even sh a p in g the m arke tin g
strategies of entrepreneurs w ishing to
widen the demand for goods and services.
3.4 Crop Production : 2016-17 and 2017-18: As
per the second advance e stim a te s,
production of foodgrains during 2017-18 is
estimated at 6 6 . 8 8 lakh tonnes compared
to 74.20 lakh tonnes last year. During the
year 2016-17, the production of cotton
bales each of 170 kg. was 50.43 lakh bales
which increase to 127.46 lakh bales during
the year 2017-18. The production of oil

3.5 Agriculture Situation - 2017-18: The state
is divided into 8 sub agro-clim atic zones
based on the characteristics of agriculture
and climate. Output of agricultural sector 3.8
in G u ja rat State has been la rgely
dependent on south-west monsoon. The
State fre q u e n tly e xp e rie n ce s e rra tic
behaviour of the south-w est m onsoon,
w hich can p a rtly be a ttrib u te d to
geographic situation of the State. The wide
variation in rainfall received by different 3 9
parts of the state has been the
characteristic feature of monsoon. In the
year 2017, average rainfall of the state was
909 mm against 727 mm rainfall received
in 2016. The Valsad district in south Gujarat
received maximum rainfall of 2519 mm
a gain st 2500 mm in last year. W hile
Kachchh d istrict received m inim um
rainfall of 464 mm in the year 2017 against
3.10
307 mm in the last year.
3.6 Kharif Season-2017 : Normal area under
kharif cultivation is 86.71 lakh hectares.
Normally, the state receives first shower
of rain in the second fortnight of June and
sow ing starts accordingly. Due to pre­
m onsoon activity, sporadic rainfall was
received during second and third week of
June, 2017 in several districts of the State.
3.7 Area covered under Kharif crops till 9th
October, 2017 is 85.29 lakh hectare as

the years the GMB has sought to ease the
load on the overburdened major ports of
w estern India, in clu d in g M um bai and
Kandla, by developing new port facilities.
In the process, state-of-the-art ports have
become the order of the day in Gujarat.
Some of these all-weather, direct-berthing

Port Policy, w hich e xpressed State's
in ten tio n to opt fo r the in cre a sin g
p a rticip a tio n of p riva te se cto r in the
d e velo p m en t of the port sector. The
objective of the port policy is to achieve
the highest standards in the matter of port
in fra stru ctu re and se rv ice s and
consequently attain higher traffic at the
po rts and enhan ce the pro cess of
industrialization in the State.
5.62 One of the highlights of the State's Port
P o licy was the id e n tific a tio n of 10
Greenfield sites with a vision to develop
these ports matching global standards.
5.63 Gujarat M aritim e Board has developed
m ultiple port privatization m odels like
Private/Joint Sector Ports, Private Jetties,
